Weeds is also published in coordination with the Eris Sondrup Nielson Contest, which provides awards for the best literary works submitted in each of three categories. A former teacher, Eris Sondrup Nielson once wrote the following, which we feel captures the spirit of Weeds exactly:
"I believe that one of the greatest of God's gifts is the ability to feel and enjoy the beauty of the world around us and especially to feel and enjoy our relationships with others. To learn to express those feelings is a talent we can all develop."
